These are simply envelopes for your cds and dvds. Can't say anything else about them - except this - I noticed when I opened the box they came in 'my' sleeves were wrapped tightly with a rubber band which caused them to be somewhat crumpled upon removing the rubber band. It did not really affect them adversely, but just be aware that yours may come this way also. Memorex CD/DVD Sleeves Paper with Window Cut-Out & Back Flap (50-Pack)

The 50 pack are all white, and the window in the front is a useful feature - lets you see what's on there without resorting to opening the envelope. The tab on the back helps keep the disc from falling out - a nice touch.

Well, what can I say? They are CD Sleeves, they are all basically the same. These come in a 50 pack box and have a hole in the back to put a flap in to hold it down, this comes in handy if you are mailing the disks in these CD Sleeves. The Window Cut-Out is good because you can easily see what is on the disk, of course, all CD Sleeves have this.The one thing that is really nice about these CD Sleeves is that the price is excellent!

These paper sleeves have a plastic window for displaying their contents, and a tab on the back to hold the top flap shut. I can't think of anything else I could ask from disk sleeves.



Tip: either buy these as part of a Free Super Saver Shipping order, or buy them locally. After shipping, it's far cheaper to buy them at your local Staples, CompUSA, or something like that.

I do not like having to wrestle with sliding cd/dvd's in and out of these sleeves. The dimensions are about 4-7/8"x4-7/8", about an 1/8" smaller than other sleeves I have purchased. I will not buy Memorex again.

Memorex makes an excellent paper sleeve to protect CDs and DVDs from lying around gathering dust. The paper sleeves are also particularly good when mailing CDs and DVD discs because they protect the disc while reducing the cost of postage. It costs less to mail CD and DVD media in paper sleeves than it does to mail the same CDs and DVDs in slim jewel cases. This savings alone should make these sleeves pay for themselves!



The color white is neutral and doesn't distract you from being able to focus on the label or other writing on the CD or DVD. I agree with the reviewer who notes that there is a hole in the back of the sleeve into which you can insert a flap. This ensures that the CDs and DVDs don't dislodge when they are in transit in the postal system or your car as you take them from one place to another.



They are also useful for people who have accumulated so many CDs and DVDs that to store the media even in the slim jewel cases now takes up too much room.



Overall, these are good quality paper sleeves at the right price. I highly recommend these CD/DVD paper sleeves for people who want a practical and cost-efficient alternative to jewel cases.

I ordered these Memorex sleeves, because Memorex was a respected brand, and they appeared to meet my needs. When I opened the Memorex box, I was appalled to see that all of the sleeves were very tightly bound with a rubber band. This deformed about half of the sleeves (about one quarter of them on each of the two ends). If I had been ordering these only for my own use, I might not have minded this, but these were to be protective sleeves for gift CD's.



I checked at several large stationery stores to see if this was common practice for Memorex, and every Memorex box had the deforming rubber band. It was also interesting to note that the Memorex box had a cutaway so that the sleeves could be seen, but it was oriented so that the rubber band was not visible. One might be inclined to label this deceptive packaging.



I also read all of the Amazon reviews carefully, and found that this was not a recent development--reviews dating back to 2004 commented on this packaging by Memorex. - Cd - Sleeves - Dvd - Cd Storage'

I just received this DVD player tonight after struggling with a crappy Panasonic S-58 I purchased locally based on a few enthusiastic, albeit ill-conceived, reviews I came across on Amazon and elsewhere. I can't tell you how happy I am with this unit and the myriad ways in which it excels both my previous Phillips 3962 (rendered it useless due to a sticky rental from Netflix)and the previously mentioned Panasonic model (of sorry memory), but I'll make a feeble attempt by way of this brief review nonetheless:



Image quality: The Phillips wins hands down here, offering what appears to my eyes at least to provide a level of picture quality (out of the box with ZERO adjustments) comparable to high-end units commanding upwards of three times the price. The Panasonic, in contradistinction, offered a level of image quality that I judged to be,at best, mediocre, or what a more discerning home theater electronics fancier would refer to as "terrible". It would indeed be no exaggeration to describe the difference as dramatic and eye-catching. The upscaling to 1080i of my Samsung LCD is simply phenomenal. I can't even imagine how good the image would be with 1080P compatible TV models.



Features: This DVD player has every feature you need and even some features you don't need. For those of you with DIVx-laden flash drives, fear not, as this unit provides front connecting USB facilities that effortlessly transport the tech- savvy votary of cutting-edge home theater to DIVx heaven with the the simple plugging of a cord.



Price: Cheap and good. This is true of so few things in life. For all those currently vacillating between "cheap dvd players", I would advise you to not look a gift-horse in the mouth when considering this unit. Don't even think twice before hitting the purchase button and certainly don't wast your time and tire your poor eyes "researching" any longer. This is, unequivocally, the HOLY GRAIL of cheap DVD players. So save yourself some time and money and just hit the purchase button.



Accessories: For all those here endlessly kvetching about the "flimsy" remote, I beg to differ. The remote is actually very elegant and well constructed for a player in this price class. You want to see a cheap remote? Buy the Panasonic S-58 and be prepared to cringe as the dollar-store quality Chinese toy-like polyethylene plastic tenses and creaks helplessly under the pressure of your child's feeble grip. In any event, this complaint amounts to nothing more than the most minor of quibbles considering the superlative features and quality of the player itself. For my part, however, I stand by my judgement that the remote is just dandy.



In closing, I would like to thank Phillips for manufacturing this superb product and for providing it to the public at such a modest cost. In doing so, they are affording the non-enthusiast public a viewing experience whose value far outstrips the mere pittance for which it is exchanged, and which will only serve to further consolidate Phillips unshakable position as the leader in home entertainment electronics for years to come.



And, as always, Amazon.com is peerless in their prompt, worry-free delivery of new products.



Both, therefore, win my unqualified and unreserved endorsement. FIVE STARS! Philips DVP3560/F7 DVD Player with 1080p HDMI Upscaling and Multimedia DiVX

This little bad boy of a DVD player comes packed with features. There are 2 major reasons you should get this player



1. The up-scaling on this player is very good. I have some DVD of older shows (like Babylon 5 and the original Star Trek, not remastered) and they never looked better! The image quality on the player is very good. While not 'top notch' like those $1000 up-scaling players, you are getting INCREDIBLE bang for the buck when it comes to the quality of your DVD image



2. Region Free. When you first get the player it will be locked to Region 1. There is a code/hack to unlock the player that can be found on the web (and even in the review section here if you look hard enough).





- Some say this player is slow to load but I actually find it very fast. Could of just been my old DVD player was just slow but I personally find this player loads fairly quickly.

- For "up-scaling" you need to use the HDMI port (no HDMI cable included) . I recommend leaving the HDMI settings on AUTO and enable the HDMI Color Enhancer.

**By leaving it on AUTO it lets your TV decide the resolution which means maximum compatibility (the DVD player up-scales the TV decides the resolution to upscale to)

**The Color enhancer by default is left to off, at least it was on mine. Basically if left OFF it will use 8-bit color (256 shades of each color). If turned on it will use 24-bit color (over 8 million total shades) it will make a noticeable difference especially on subtle colors



- The Menus for the player are simple and easy to navigate. In fact I'd say they are almost generic as if you bought a $5 DVD player. Philips clearly kept costs down by sacrificing on the bells and whistles but focused on what counts.

*There is no clock on the player (at least I couldn't find one)

*Menu is ultra generic almost Commodore 64 computer graphic look (but it is smooth and works as intended)

*remote is ultra basic but the buttons are generous in size, well spaced and easy to use



In summary this player gives you exactly what you are buying it for. Up-scaling DVD's and multimedia use. I've tested the DiVX and various media out on the player and it works exactly as intended/advertised. There is even a USB button on the remote so you can access the USB drive via remote control instead of going into menus. A great player with a great price and is ultra light weight.





** Up-scaling. Basically this DVD player is going to take your 720x480 DVD and convert it into a 1920x1080 image via HDMI. What separates a cheap player from a quality player is the Image Quality. When you "upscale" an image you essentially are matching the image pixel for pixel where as a regular DVD player will "stretch" the image to 1920x1080.



- By doing this you will get better color quality, image quality and it gives the movie/show a much smoother look to it





***** EDIT *****

I noticed a few people mention that this player turns itself off after 10-15mins if you aren't doing anything (like you stay on pause, or just turn it on and let it sit) You can actually turn this feature off. You can find the feature in "General Setup" ---> Auto Standby Just set it to OFF and the player will no longer turn itself off - Divx-player - Upconverting Dvd Player - Hdmi - 1080p'

I originally found this type of storage method at Staples. It was the black binding version. The first one we bought was great. We liked it so much we went back to Staples for two more. Unfortunately all their remaining units were severally cracked and broken from what looks like a heavy impact on the boxes. When we asked the store manager about it they said they were not ordering any more and offered us the remaining units for half off. We declined as this was a poor reflection on Staples and not the product itself.



When we found these on Amazon for even less money than Staples charged it was better than hoped. We now have 3 of the black binding units and 2 of the white binding. We are very pleased as these helped us clear up a lot of clutter produced by music and PC gaming CD's (we use another method for our DVD's).



Kudos's to Atlantic for coming up with this storage system. Each folder (4 per unit) has a spot to write a Genre or Label for the contents of the CD's inside. Making them color codes helps even more. Currently I do not use them interlinked but it is great that they have that ability. I highly recommend these to all my friends and family. Atlantic 96635495 Parade Stores 96 Disc (White)

Actually looks pretty nice for a CD holder, better than having a bunch of binders sitting around. Cases interlock together so you can have a nice wall of discs that isn't an eye sore. Price is right as well.

These DVD and CD holders were a perfect addition to my entertainment center. I went from housing 5ish CD binders/holders...down to 3 sets of these mini albums. I created labels for the spines...and now I can easily find my movies/music and easily replace them after use.



In a perfect world I would love the sleeves to be movable so as to limit the times I have to move CDs...but it isn't the end of the world and I love them so much that I would prefer to shuffle the CDs to any other method I have used.



The sender was timely, product was as described, and the experience was without incidence. - Dvd Storage - Cd Organizer - Parade - Cd Storage'

I don't write many of these but I saw the bads one and had to share my experiance. We have a 1 year old child and were going through batteries like crazy. We bought one of these in the hopes it will help. I must say buying the charger and batteries in addition is not cheap but helps save money in the end.



The screen to tell you how charged the batteries are is great. The batteries last almost as long as a regular battery. I remember as a kid (i'm 29) that recharable batteries were really bad, they would die on pretty much the same day. But that is no longer the case. We liked the charger and batteries so much we bought a second charger and all we use is recharables now. We use AA,C,D and i'm about to buy more AA do to the need and am going to try the 9V for the portable radio.



I have not tried any other large rechargers but I havn't had a need to. The quality is the same as others I have seen at the store, constructed with hard plastic and charges them quick. It's easy to open and close and using it is self explanatory.



All in all a great product and a money saver we love both of ours and have had them for over 2 years. If I needed another charger I would go right to this one. Energizer CHFC Family Charger

This charger worked really well for the first year or so I owned it. Now I am finding that it only charges batteries 30%-- and I'm not talking about the same old batteries I've had (which have only seen maybe 5 or so charges)... This happens even with brand new rechargeable cells. I've tried experimenting with charging 4 at a time vs 8, and have not seen a difference. It seems to recognize that some batteries are charged more than others when activated but does not fully charge them anymore. I'm going to give it one more shot to see if it can at least handle 1 cell at a time before throwing it in the dumpster. I don't think I've even come close to matching my investment in rechargeable batteries yet... I wish I would have just bought disposables...

This charger does not work with non-Energizer brand batteries. It will not recognize them and will not charge them even if it does recognize them, instead indicating that they are "bad". Expect more from such a famous brand name battery maker. I do not recommend this product, instead I would recommend a cheap chinese made recharger that will recharge anything and everything you put in it. I'd rather overcharge the occasional battery than have 36 useless off brand NiMH batteries sitting around the house that I can't get any electricity into.

I saw the negative comeents and read the good ones as well. As with anything electronic, there are going to be ones that work and those that don't. It may be a quality control issue. I have had this unti for almost three years at work and it is used consistently. I have never ahd a problem. It does what it is designed to do, recharge batteries. I use the batteries in a digital camera for ID photos and fr a flash unit. Again, never had a problem with the baterries performing and lasting a reasonable amount of time. Considering the cost of constantly buying more replacement baterries, I'll take this any day. If your cost analysis says something diferent, then you should do what's best for you. Even replacing the charger every couple of yearsis more cost effective than buying batteries over the same period of time.

I agree--it seems to be poor quality. Did not buy it on Amazon, but have owned this Energizer family charger for about 3 yrs. Only used it regularly for about a year or so, and it's already stopped working. Even before it quit altogether, it seemed to be charging the batteries inconsistently. Kind of defeats the purpose of saving $ by recharging batteries, if you have to replace the charger after only 18 months!

I dont know why there are some bad reviews on this unit! I am happy that I have found this item. It is sturdy and made out of hard plastic. As you would expect from a brand name like Energizer.

The LCD panel on the top of the panel is very well though out. It shows you how much charge remaining until the batteries are fully charged.I find it extremely useful.

And it takes almost all kinds of batteries.

I mainly got this unit for C and D cells. But it take AAA & AA & 9V as well. You put the batteries inside the charger and shut the lid and it starts charging. Simple.

And this is not expensive as well very reasonably priced.

Go get it if you are looking for a good charger.

Great charger. No problems. I'm a photographer and use this several times a week for NiMH AA/AAAs with no problems. Came to the page to buy another and saw the negative comments - thought I'd chime in. First off, there is no way a charger can recognize non-Energizer batteries. This charger works on every brand battery I've purchased - name brand, foreign, cheap, etc. Secondly, about 1 in 8 NiMH batteries are duds. The duds charge, but drain much faster than the others. I mark suspected duds and monitor their behavior - recycling them if necessary. Duds happen regardless of the charger (I have several different chargers). So it's not the charger that's ruining batteries; the batteries were bad to start with. Also, this is a charger - not a tester. Use a battery tester to check battery juice. This charger, like most, will indicate low charges on its LCD screen as it begins recharging. This display is not exact; not meant to accurately indicate pre-charge battery levels. Finally, new NiMH batteries require 'seasoning' to reach full and lasting capacity. So the more you use/charge the batteries, the better they perform - at least until they start aging. As with all the chargers I use, once the batteries indicate a full charge, I rearrange the batteries in the charger to top them off.

This thing is awesome... I bought some 15 minute Energizers and after a year they wouldn't charge anymore... Someone told me to buy this unit and it would charge them... Well not only does it charge them but they seem to last longer than they ever did before... I have also charged no name Big Lots, solar lights & you name it in this thing and it seems to lenghten the life of every battery I've put in the thing... You can charge 8 AA's at once! I love it...Even has a cool charge meter LCD on the front... - Nimh - Battery Charger Aa - Battery Charger - Battery'

I recently purchased replacement batteries for my Uniden cordless telephones on Amazon.com. I called my Mom (as her Panasonic telephones were losing power quickly also) and suggested purchasing replacement batteries for her telephones from Amazon.com. Upon calling around for prices, then comparing the prices with Amazon.com, I found the same results. Amazon.com was THREE times less expensive than the retail stores. Hitech -Replacement HHR-P107 Battery for Panasonic Cordless Phone KX-TG6021M / KX-TG6022B / KX-TG6023M / KX-TG6051M / KX-TG6052B / KX-TG6052PK / KX-TG6053PK/ KX-TG6053S/ KX-TG6054B/ KX-TG6054PK

I bought two of these for my panasonic cordless phones. Overall Im happy with them for what I paid. I dont think they hold as long a charge as the original batteries did but they are certainly sufficient.



For how cheap it would be to upgrade my phones, I wanted to spend as little as possible on replacement batteries to feel as tho it was worth it to keep the old phones. Im satisfied.

The battery item offered and purchased had a different mAh level then the one mailed out. This can create problems with electronics. Now I need to go and buy the battery this site said it was selling but in fact did not deliver. If I wanted the battery this vendor delivered I could have purchased it at half the price. Not worth the hassle.

In the past, I've been burned by 3rd party batteries. However, the price disparity between this Hitech replacement battery and a 'recommended' replacement battery was so large ($20+), that I just had to give the Hitech a try. I bought two batteries-- one for each of my handsets one month ago. They charged right up. I had a handset off the charge station for about a week and have had long conversations, so they hold a charge well. Great deal! - Phone Battery'

Kid Crafts - present, shrinky dinks

I saw these online when looking for Christmas presents for my 6 yo son. I remembered them from when I was a kid and they are just as much fun now as they were back then! We spent quality time together coloring them and watching them shrink in our toaster oven...only takes a minute or so. The holes that are already in them make them easy to create keychain decorations or "bracelets" with the pipe cleaners (included). Also, the addition of tiny magnets in with the kit are great for 'fridge decor. Will buy another set in a different design for his birthday! Alex Toys Shrinky Dinks Kit, Cool Stuff

These are just plain fun. The box comes with a ton of pieces to color and a set of pencils for coloring. There is no right or wrong way to color them, it is entirely up to the child (or adult if you can convince your kids to give you any :P).

Once they are colored, you just pop them in an oven and watch carefully. We use our toaster oven so we can keep a close eye on them through the window. The instructions clearly state to wait until they curl up and then lay flat again.



Take them out and viola - a fun little piece of art.



I think they are a doubly fun craft kit because kids get to color and design and then they get to see a little oven magic.



The pieces hold up but there are so many that if you break one or lose one, there are no tears.



A great way to pass the time on a rainy afternoon or cold winter day and fun for many ages (if I could only get my kids to share with me...) Maybe I'll have to buy my own box.

Fun for all ages - both me and my 11 y.o. had fun with this. For less than five dollars (Amazon sale price), this kit is an awesome value, as there are at least 20 different shapes included, as well as the colored pencils, pipe cleaners, and magnents. And unlike traditional shrinky dinks, these are pre-cut shapes (sooo helpful), and the holes for pipe cleaners and such are also pre-cut. We shrank them in the toaster oven, but you can also use a traditional oven. Would buy again for gift giving.

I actually purchased this for my 40 year-old son & his wife because it was a favorite item from their childhoods. If used by young ones, it certainly needs adult supervision. Cheap for the entertainment value and smiles.

Fun retro toy that was a great rainy day project. The six year old that I bought it for had a blast coloring them and then watching them shrink. A little bit brittle once baked, so not great for really little ones.

this was a great craft.. i really liked how you could make key chains or magnets with the shrinky dinks not just the shrinky dink it self.. i do admit i had more fun than the kids with it.. but my boys are young.. 3&5 - Shrinky Dinks - Present - Crafts - Toys'

Canon Scanner - portable scanner, canon

I've been using this scanner for six months and have come past my initial enthusiasm to a more settled satisfaction. The scanner is fast and gives results as good as any scanner I've owned--and I've owned a number over the years. Moreover, it's a classy little instrument--well-built, folds up into a perfect little glossy black box. I leave it on a window ledge in my living room and except for the cords, it doesn't look out of place.



I've found that convenience is the most important factor in my life with scanners. It can be fast, but if it's bulky or ugly and I have to put it away when I'm done with it, then it's inconvenient to use and I get tired of it. My multi-function printer/scanner is fast, but woefully inconvenient. Either it won't work on the network, its driver won't work with my computer, or it's physically distant because I don't want it near the living area of my house. I never use the thing to scan.



I also have a little NeatWorks scanner. It's small and convenient, but slow as molasses in January. I hate waiting on it. And I have a Canon plate-type scanner. It does beautiful scans, but it's slow and though slim, still too large to leave out in the living room.



This scanner's chief charms are its looks, compactness and speed. It's physically fast. It's also fast on the software side. I plug in the scanner, hit the big scan button and the scanner fires up its software utility on the computer, scans the document and asks me where I want it saved. That simple. One button and you're done: from plugging in the scanner to scan on your desktop it's a matter of seconds.



One positive about the scanner I didn't fully appreciate when I ordered it is its ability to do double-sided scans without a second pass through the machine. It incorporates two scan surfaces into its feed allowing a double-sided scan with just one pass through the machine.



The negatives which have become more apparent to me over time are few but significant. Most significant in my mind is the machine's inability to sheet-feed certain types of paper consistently. I use legal pads for handwriting and then scan my notes. The scanner is unable to grab one sheet at a time with this paper. It does better with thinner, flimsier, cheaper paper. Good quality paper causes it to grab three and even four sheets at a time. This is a real frustration.



Less frustrating is the automatic duplexing capability. Sometimes I want only one side of a sheet, but if there's anything at all on the back it gets scanned as well, leaving you with an extra page you must remove from the scan. Since I own the full version of Acrobat I can do this easily, but I'm not sure this would be so easily accomplished for someone possessing just Acrobat Reader.



Finally, when folding the machine up into its little box it's important to close the paper guides first. If you forget, they'll get force-closed by contact with the inside of the box, but I suspect over time such contact could break the guides. Canon imageFORMULA P-150 Portable Document Scanner (Scan-tini)

The Scantini replaces my Canon multifunction photo printer/scanner/fax machine, the MP830, after its scanner head broke recently. For document scanning, this device is superb. It offers high scan quality, duplex scanning (both sides at once), TWAIN driver support (so you can use it with Photoshop, Acrobat, etc.) and is very small. The Canon driver for Mac OS X also offers good options and tweaks. I researched several other document-focused scanners and found this to be the best on paper. I haven't been disappointed.



My scanning setup (for documents) is to scan at 600dpi into Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for the Mac, which gives you great print scanning with its ClearText feature enabled. I scan all of my financial docs, interesting magazine articles, etc., so it is a mix of glossy magazine pages and matte laser printouts. After scanning, I use Acrobat's "Reduce File Size" option to make the PDFs a manageable size. The Scantini image quality is great, at least the equal of the MP830, and it works very fast.



Part of the speed ability for the Scantini is its duplex support. Some scanners, like the MP830, offer duplex by means of running the document through twice. This takes twice as long as the Scantini, which scans both sides of the page at once, and increases the likelihood of a paper jam.



The Scantini stands apart from some of its smallish, document scanning competitors like the Fujitsu Scansnap by offering TWAIN support with its drivers. This allows you to use the Scantini with programs that support the TWAIN imaging interface, such as Photoshop and Acrobat. Without TWAIN support, you cannot scan directly into Acrobat. I believe you have to use the bundled scanner software to produce the PDF, then import that PDF into Acrobat for any further work. Beyond creating an extra step, this may result in reduced scan quality, since Acrobat is not working directly on the raw scanned image.



A final plus is the small size. The Scantini takes up little space on your desktop and folds up neatly when not in use. It can run off USB power from your laptop and could be taken on a trip, although I wouldn't do so (a bit too big for that and I'd be worried about damaging the scanning head if it was jostled in my bag).



Note that I've found the Scantini works great with anything short of a rigid photo or other document. The scanned item needs to be slightly flexible and not too thick to go through the scanner. A photo could go through fine, although the scan quality would be reduced compared to a flatbed scanner that offers greater dots per inch than the 600dpi of the Scantini. I tried scanning a glossy, rigid football game ticket and got poor results, as the thickness of the ticket caused it to skew as it went through the scanner.



Also, I give it 4 stars for value for the money because it is expensive (my Canon MP830 multifunction device was $300, I believe, and did more tasks than scanning documents), but it is price-competitive with other inferior (as best as I can tell) document scanners and offers better performance at document scanning than a multifunction device would. - Scanner - Canon Scanner - Canon - Portable Scanner'

I dont understand why people hated this movie so much. I have been a huge green lantern fan since i was 7 so ive been waiting for this movie for 13 years. The visual effects were great. The story (even though innacurate to the comics) was good. Ryan Reynolds played a near perfect Hal Jordan. The only problem was Hal was kinda whiny in parts in the movie which he never was in the comics. Blake Lively played Carol perfectly. The only problem I had witht he movie was the fact it wasnt long enough. The movie was only 1 hour 40 minutes. To fit in more character development and more story it should have been atleast a 2 hour movie. Didnt get enough development on the other lanterns, and the only ones you meet are Sinestro, Kilowog, and Tomar-Re. Even then you didnt get much of them. They need to make a sequel and go more in depth on more characters........the scene during the credits set up the sequel beautifully. Overall I loved this movie I sat in aww with goosebumps the whole movie (maybe because ive been waiting for this for years), but it was a really good movie. People complain because it wasnt realistic and goofy.......Has a superhero movie ever been realistic or not goofy in some way thats why we read and watch superhero movies to believe in something unrealistic. Green Lantern (Three-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D / Blu-ray / DVD / Digital Copy)

I'll admit up front that I wasn't that familiar with the Green Lantern character before this movie. In fact, if I hadn't have talked to a friend who was a fan of the comics, everything I knew would have been from watching the old "Justice League" cartoons on Saturday mornings -- the ones in which Green Lantern was just another random face in the crowd. At least he wasn't the Wonder Twins, but Aquaman got more love than Green Lantern on that show. Thankfully, my friend explained why Green Lantern is so cool. I mean, having the power to create anything you can imagine... that's pretty awesome stuff. Obviously, the more imaginative the person, the better, and that was my main concern going in to this movie -- that the things the writers came up with for Green Lantern to create wouldn't be that creative. But I think they actually did a pretty good job in that department. Of course you have to keep in mind that he has to come up with these things on the spot, without a lot of time to sit around and think about it. The movie does have its flaws. There are a few scenes that feel cliche and it could have used a bit more action and a longer end fight, etc., but I still found it to be a fun, inspiring movie overall. I loved the "courage overcoming fear" storyline. As it turned out, it was the best time I had at the movies all summer.

As a DC Comics fan, I liked the movie althought I thought the movie's ending was way too comic-book like with Hal Jordan and Parallax. My wife, who does not read comics books at all, liked the movie as it introduced her to the Green Lantern Corp and the other characters.



I will probably get this, as it was announced this week (week of August 21st) that the Blu-ray and Blu-ray 3D releases include an Arkham City bonus of the Sinestro Corp costume for Batman. I stated the Arkham City bonus here, as I could not find a way of updating the product information with this.



So, if you're a Green Lantern fan and an Arkham City fan, then you probably want to seriously consider getting this release.

Green Lantern has received quite a bit of flak from reviewers for not being mainstream enough to relate to modern audiences. And that's a shame, because if Green Lantern is guilty of anything, it's of being a SUPERHERO movie.



Back before all these directors started streamlining films, revising backstories, and taking out Spider-Man's technologically-advanced web shooters, comic books were a glorious hodge-podge of the near possible, the impossible, and the just plain fantastic. Because superhero settings include every superhero and villain imaginable, they have to accommodate magic, aliens, superscience, and alternate dimensions in one heady mix. This makes for a very rich comic book series that can be intimidating for new audiences - which is precisely why movie directors cut out so much.



But you can't cut all the crazy out of Green Lantern and still stay true to the comics. And so, with tons of exposition, Green Lantern rabbit-punches viewers with world-shattering fact after mind-altering fact in the first five minutes: aliens exist, there's a giant yellow monster imprisoned in a planet, ancient humanoids predating humanity have been guarding the universe with green willpower, and there's a dizzying variety of highly advanced technical races from across the galaxy. Green Lantern makes Superman's backstory look quaint. His name doesn't help either - Emerald Flashlight has to say an oath that activates a ring that's charged by a lantern that's powered by a planet that's actually the embodiment of all sentient beings' will. No wonder critics got confused.



)o()o()o( "I pledge allegiance to a lantern, given to me by a dying purple alien." - Hal Jordan )o()o()o(



Director Martin Campbell knows all this. He makes fun of the ridiculous circumstances in which Hal Jordan (Ryan Reynolds and his fab abs) finds himself, ranging from a dogfight with two robot jets to a dogfight with a giant soul-eating monster. Part of what makes Green Lantern so entertaining is that it embraces its pulpy roots: there's the childhood sweetheart (smoking hot Blake Lively as Carol Ferris who just happens to be a successful businesswoman and fighter pilot), the nebbishly awkward villain (Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond), and tough-as-nails "red Spock" Sinestro (Mark Strong). The real villain of the piece, Parallax, sounds like a 1980s video game effect - oh wait, it is! This is not a movie to be taken too seriously.



)o()o()o( "It's not a magic ring--it's a ring powered by advanced technology!" - Hal Jordan )o()o()o(



And yet, Green Lantern is no movie trifle. The challenge with a superhero who has powers like Green Lantern is that the possibilities are literally endless - the rings are powered by the hero's will, which means he can technically imagine anything. This also means that an abusive hero might imagine black holes and solve all of his problems that way. Green Lantern cleverly constrains these god-like powers by imposing plot-related restrictions on Hal's creativity. When all Hal can come up with to stop a helicopter from crashing into partying guests is a Matchbox car in a ramp, it's because he played with one in his nephew's room the day before. When he's trying to use the sun's gravitational pull as a weapon, it's because he used the Earth's gravitational pull as a weapon against the two jets earlier and because his tutor Kilowog points out that gravity is a...uh, harsh mistress. Hal Jordan might always manifest boring weapons straight out of a first-person shooter, but that's because he's harboring a lot of guilt over his military daddy's death.



)o()o()o( "You thought I wouldn't recognize you just because I can't see your cheekbones?" - Carol Ferris )o()o()o(



Speaking of daddy issues, Green Lantern is one giant ball of forest-colored father/son conflict: Hal and his military pilot father, Hammond and his successful senator father, dead Abin Sur and grieving Sinestro, Abin Sur and the newly created Green Lantern, Parallax and his newly adopted avatar Hammond...it's clear the Green Lantern writers were looking for some emotional hook, and that hook was spelled out D-A-D. Green Lantern tries very hard to be deep.



Unfortunately, Green Lantern can be pretty shallow at times. Parallax, remember, is an ancient being predating much of humanity's evolution, but he falls for the oldest trick in the book. We're supposed to believe that Parallax really, really, REALLY hates Abin Sur and everything associated with him. After he kills Abin Sur, you have to ask why Parallax wants to go after just Hal Jordan when he could be eating so many other Green Lanterns for breakfast.



When Green Lantern goes big, it's glorious, but when it pulls in tight, the plot turns an earth-shattering battle between god-like beings into a schoolyard shoving match. But really, that's pretty normal from superhero comics. It's just that today's movie superhero fans expect a guy in a cloak that's just like you and me without any of the world-spanning baggage.



Green Lantern's guilty of being true to Green Lantern, spandex, mask, ring and all. For those who find it implausible, maybe a superhero powered by a jade-colored light source isn't for them. - Dc Comics - Martin Campbell - 3d - Blu-ray'

I had not been satisfied with the sound quality from my surround sound system, until I decided to purchase this optical cable. The quality of construction and audio it delivers totally rejuvenates my 9 year old system. I suppose any optical cable would do, but I trust the Monster brand. I have purchased Monster products in the past, whenever I could afford it, so I had expectations of high performance and longevity and it delivered. I installed the cable and played a DVD through my system and for the first time it was like being in the theater. An additional plus was the combined low price and quick delivery of the cable. Thanks to Monster and Amazon I'm thoroughly enjoying my home theater experiences again. Monster THXI100-FO4NF THX Certified Toslink Fiber Optic Audio Cable (4 feet)

I don't like to spend more than necessary for quality cables, but the less expensive (and better selling) models on Amazon were prone to slipping out of my Yamaha receiver. The monster cable provides a nice, snug fit.

Whether you're running a complete THX system or not, why chance the use of inferior products? To make certain you are getting all of the audio you can muster from your surround sound you should use this cable. Optic cable has very little loss, I know, I utilize fiber optics for a career. Sure Monster cables typically cost more than most (if not all), but I've always been a firm believer in getting what you pay for. Sure, I can't afford high end vehicles. However, I can afford this cable and you can't afford not to buy one too.

For some reason, this optical cable cannot plug into my Samsung TV snugly, however it plugs in properly into my receiver. I tried to push it in and I made sure it's turn the correct way , but it will not stay in. Before I bought it, I read all the reviews which were good and someone complained about the same problem. I went out and bought a cheap optical cable from Kmart and it did not have that problem. What gives??



Update: I had to try this cable again, I wasn't satisfied with the sound from the replacement I bought. I am glad I did. This time it took some more pushing and wiggling to get it into my tv. The sound that the Monster THX sends to my receiver is a much better quality than the replacement cable I got - the sound is crisper and rounder. I've upgraded my overall review to 4 star - (-1 star because of the fat end of the cable that prevents it from being plugged in easily into certain systems like mine) The sound quality gets 5 star. I would give it ten if possible. - Audio Cables - Optical Cable - Cable - Digital Audio'

I use a UV filter on my lens to protect it because unlike others it has the least effect on the amount of light passing through it and does not affect color. I use it indoors and out with both black and white and color films. The only time it is off of my lense is when I want to affect color or contrast by using a special filter. It reduces haze to improve the clarity of outdoor pictures. Tiffen filters are well constructed. Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter

At a range between $7 and $10, this is one of the best values and investments out there. What is it actually used for? A UV filter has two primary purposes: to filter out unwanted ultra-violet light and to protect the lens. For most general photography applications, you will not notice the difference in UV light. Only when you have intense sunlight at a specific angle will you start to notice the UV light. It will not alter your photos and their lighting negatively, so you can pretty much leave this filter on all the time. This filter doesn't do that great of a job in actually filtering out harsh light at the ultra-violet spectrum, but if you're an amateur photographer, you won't need that function. If you do encounter a lot of harsh UV light (you live out in the desert or in Alaska), then you should consider a different filter. As an advanced but non-professional photographer who averages 500 photos indoors and outdoors per week, I have not yet encountered any harsh UV light that this filter cannot block.



I use this on my Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, and I pretty much never take it off. This filter will protect your lens from scratches to the glass. When you get smudges (which you will) on this filter, you just wipe the filter or remove it and clean it. It's much easier to clean this filter than the glass on the lens. But the most important part is that this filter serves as insurance for your lens. If something comes flying at your lens, you have a choice of replacing a $7 filter or a $150 lens. It's a no-brainer!



Now, this filter is useful for either the amateur photographer or the advanced photographer who has a relatively cheap lens (a $150 lens is considered CHEAP compared to $950 for the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS). If you own a more expensive lens, you'd want to go with a better filter, such as one from Hoya or B+W. But if you own the Canon Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS or an L lens, you know that already.



All in all, I gave this filter 5 stars because of its great value. If it costs $20, I would have reduced it to 4 stars. Considering its use, you cannot beat this product.

I purchased this filter for my 2006 Christmas vacation in Hawaii. I knew that I was going to take a lot of outdoor photographs and wanted to try using a UV filter to make them more crisp. I have a Canon S3 IS which is not a traditional SLR so in order to use this filter I purchased the Canon LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter and Hood Set. Not only is this a great filter for cutting out haze in my photos, it's an affordable protective layer between the built in lens and the real world. I have many cameras with sand and fingerprints all over the lenses. It's impossible to keep them clean. Anything that gets onto this filter cannot harm the built in lens and is easily cleaned by simply removing the filter and wiping with a lens cloth. I have noticed a great improvement in my outdoor photography in clarity.



One caveat:

I was fortunate enough to get some expert advice concerning how tight to screw on filters and lenses. JUST BARELY FINGER TIGHT! Those little buggers have a nasty tendency to go from "kind of loose" to "how do you get this d@mn thing off" very quickly!

The product felt strong, solid, and well put together. The glass was clear with no visible tint or imperfections. Although this and another filter (same type different size) both arrived with smudges on the glass. The smudges were fairly easy to wipe off, but I suspect the items are either not cleaned before packaging, or I received someone's returned item. However, I had to return this item since they DON'T contain any anti-glare/reflective coating on them. When shooting towards a light source (light bulb, tv, sun, etc) a green reflection of the light source would appear on the recorded image. The green reflected image was caused by a reflection bouncing off of my lens's green tinted anti-glare coating which was bounced right back into the camera by this filter. If your lens isn't coated in an anti-glare coating the result will be even worse.

Instead I picked up Quantaray filters from a local Wolf Camera that were coated with the anti-glare. They only cost a little more, and the green reflection is now gone. Make sure you look for a filter with the anti-glare



Camera: Canon 20d, Lenses tested: 18-55, 28-135, 70-300

This is a high end filter. Very well made. Glass with metal ring. Great for preventing damage to your expensive lenses and even filters out UV rays. Easy to clean as compared to cleaning finger prints off of a lens. I had dropped a lens and broke the filter, but the lens was unharmed thanks to the filter. Replacing the filter was far less expensive then replacing the lens. A great value for a high quality filter. No lens should be without one.'

Review of MonoPrice MP-CA3020U USB 2.0 Extension Cable - 10 meter



Solved the problem. Previously I had 30+ feet of passive USB cables connecting a Brother multifunction laser to a desktop PC. The printer function always worked reliably but the scanner function was sensitive to which PC USB port was used (Asus P4P800-E Deluxe motherboard). When I replaced that PC, none of the USB ports on the new desktop PC allowed the scanner function to work (Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard). This active USB extension cable solved the problem.



Just plugged it in and it worked. No hassle. XP 32-bit.



[...]. USB 2.0 Active Extension / Repeater Cable A Male to A Female (10 Meters)

Bought this cable in order to place my USB net adapter in a better location. My computer is in a different building from my Verizon Actiontech router at the house, about 150 feet away. Even through timber-frame walls & a garage door, this arrangement has worked well for me. Without it, my connection was terrible, unusable, but now it's stable & works fine because I can move it to any location, right out the building if I wanted to. And there's no noticeable loss because of cable length as it's an active extension. A nifty solution if you're having router connection-distance issues.

I have a LifeCam VX-5000 HD webcam on the end of it and never had a dropped frame. Excellent. I did try to use a non powered 2.0 hub shared with a printer and it didn't do so well. If you have a powered hub or its own separate port you should have no problems.

I planned to use the hub as an extension for a USB hub so I could use my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and camera on the HD LCD in the living room, from the PC in my office. The "active" cable is not active enough and the camera only takes partial shots and then gets chopped. Lots of dropped packets from the keyboard and mouse as well. I use a 15 foot active cable (a different brand) with a 15 foot passive pass through, and everything works fine. This seems to work for low speed devices which is why I gave it a 2 star instead of 1 star - but don't expect much. The only good thing is Amazon.prime shipped it free and fast.

There has been some recent debate regarding the ability to use this with the Kinect for an extension, rather than paying $50 for a slightly longer cable. Let me settle it by saying **this extension works flawlessly**. I bought the Kinect sensor by itself, rather with the X-Box 360 slim as a kit. When you buy the Kinect by itself, you will have a cord that has an AC-adapter, kinect plug-in (female), and a USB-plug in (male).



How to make it work:

1. Plug this USB cable extension into your X-Box 360 (I used the front port, but any should work).

2. Plug the AC adapter from the Kinect-conversion cable into the wall

3. Connect the USB extension to the Kinect-conversion cable.

4. Plug the male end of the Kinect cable into the conversion-cable.

5. Power on your X-Box and you should see a message indicating that it has been detected.



After all of my trials, I cannot see a latency issue between using the USB 2.0 extension cable and plugging the Kinect directly into the X-Box 360. Although there is bound to be a few differences in speed, it is CERTAINLY not an issue for any games you'll be playing. There will be a little bit of a lag issue, but that is due to the insane amount of processing that must be done to determine where you are standing relative to the game. This works perfectly!

I was skeptical, USB 2.0 is not supposed to work passed 16 feet due to timing issues. After that it needs to be repeated, and can be repeated about three times limited only by power. This means that this cable would need a device in the middle to repeat, but it doesn't have one. I suspect that some things will work, and some will not.



I plugged in a good webcam, the Logitech 9000 Pro and it worked like a charm. For two days. The port on the Dlink hub we were using failed. Light went out, dead port. But the other ports still work and moving this to another port got it working again. Now, the USB hub could have just failed on its' own, but there is always a reason. I do not know if it is a "fault" of this cable, but I think it pulls too much power and overloaded that port, causing it to fail.



I'd be leery about devices that use a lot of power, especially the USB 2.0 limit of 500 milliamps. Timing wise, the camera video looks fine, with no noticeable delay and rock-solid connection.



At this price, it certainly was worth it to try it out.

pretty solid cable. I hooked a web cam up to this so I can see when the neighborhood kids hang on my gate (refer to my review on electric fencing for a suitable solution to this) The camera works but I'm not sure how well this usb length handles other gadgets.

When i got the this item and plugged it in. worked great, had no problems...for about 2 weeks. i was on the computer and had been for about 3 hours then i lost connection. after going though and looking everything over, i found that it was something in the cable that had failed. i contacted the seller and promted for a refund and they replyed within the hour. LEAVE TIME TO TEST AND RETURN IT, if needed. the seller has been great through the whole ordeal, i believe it is a great product and i just happend to get one that filed. i would have promted for an exchange but i had found another way to do my layout, so i no longer really needed. i would recamend to keep the repeater part in a fairly cool area. it was a great product when it was working and they repeot that this is the first failure out of a lot of 4000+. again the company has been great in being in touch with me about my refund and have not given any sign of problem, they have been kind and polite tho whole time. they even called me to get more feed back. so atleast give it a try and if something is wrong then you can atleast be rest asured that they will fix what ever is wrong and make sure you are 100% pleased. - Webcam - Active - Usb Cable - Usb Cables'

The screen protectors included in this pack really do work as advertised -- they turn your iPod Touch into a mirror. You can see very clearly in the mirror, and there are no odd visual effects when using the protector as a mirror. The screen protector fits very well, and holds onto your screen just fine. It also seems to be quite durable -- I have few noticeable rough spots on the screen.



The problem with these screens is that they cause pretty heavy discoloration of the screen if you look straight at it. You'll see plenty of hues of green, orange, and red. You'll also want to turn up the brightness on your ipod. The protector noticeably darkens your screen. My flashlight app doesn't work as well as it used to.



Overall, I like these mirrored protectors, but I'll probably get a plain old clear protector next time. Yeah, it's a cool novelty, but I'd rather save on battery life and see my screen clearly. 3-Pack Premium Reusable LCD Mirror Screen Protector with Lint Cleaning Cloth for Apple iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB 16GB 32GB

I ordered these things a week ago, and I got them in 3 days. Once I put them on my iPod, I noticed that they felt smoother than any other screen protector I have used. Also, the mirror looks great, but the is a little problem with glare if any light is reflected by it. Other than the relectiveness, these screen protectors are great, and the price is even better

The screen protectors came in around 4 days, really fast! Having 3 was great for when people saw mine and wanted one of their own. I gave one away and I have the other stowed away fro when i need it. The on i put on my ipod works great and wasn't hard to get on, but i am pretty good at that, either way you should not have too much of a problem.



Pros: Works great as mirror, Easy to see through when screen is on, Gives ipod touch style.



Cons: Scratches easily(not the actual screen but the screen protector), May be hard to see through in sunlight, Easily gets smudged



Overall I'd say the good outweigh the bad for me. I recommend the mirror screen protectors!

These screen protectors are really sharp!! I have had several people ask me about it. When the device is off, it looks like a mirror or stainless steel covering. But when you click the button, the display projects right through.



There are a couple of downsides to this product none of which are deal breakers for me though.



First, they are a bit tricky to apply. I messed up on my first try and had to throw that one away and use a second one. My second attempt was successful with the exception of a one small bubble. The bubble is not noticable at all because when the device is off, all you see is a mirror. And when you turn it on, the display conceals the bubble.

Second, the mirror finish atracts ALOT of smudge marks and fingerprints. I haven't scratched it yet but I'd assume that any scratches would be very visable. So I end up wiping it down frequently.



Othere than those issues, this is a real nice product. And like I said, neither of those issues were deal breakers for me. Because the price is soooooo low, I already ordered four more packs!



Oh I almost forgot, the shipping is pretty slow. I don't remember how long exactly, but it was well over a week.

Pros: ITS AWESOME! AMAZING! SUPER MIRROR. almost gotten my itouch taken away in class, i said it was a mirror and was using it for a mirror and turned off the screen, he saw it and gave it back to me. also a + for me is that the itouch looks 3d now... awesome!!!! oh and its super strong and its like a armor for my itouch screen. theres no way i can scratch it. i would give 7/5



cons: hard to see during day time, have to turn up the brightness on itouch. Kills battery cause of that fact.





i honestly would have payed 15$ for this. after trying i would pay 25$ but for 2$ for 3 i almost pee'd myself :)

These are cheap and great protectors for your ipod. They do however make the screen very dark! I have my settings on low brightness and i had to turn it up all the way to about 2/3's just so that i was able to see. That is why i gave it a low rating other than that its really cool how they reflect and double as a mirror.

The screen is very reflective, which is nice, but if you try and use your ituch in the sun you can hardly see anything. Also the material scratches easy, but hey, for the price I could replace the screen every week. Oh, one more thing. If you are wearing polarized sunglasses you won't be able to see the screen at all if your Ituch is upright, but if you turn it side ways the polaritys cancel out and you loose all reflection, which means you can see the screen fine. - Ipod - Ipod Accessories - Ipod Touch - Mirror'
